Some people have accused environmental crowd of going overboard on global warming. But this time, they mean it. In a massive publicity stunt, Greenpeace is rebuilding Noahs ark on Mount Ararat where the Bible said it landed after the flood. According to liberal theories, global warming is causing the seas to rise and envelop the earth. Theyre hoping this ark will serve as a warning of what could happen if mankind doesnt act quickly on climate change. But even if Greenpeace is rightand many scientists doubt they arethe ocean is only predicted to rise 20 feet, hardly enough to make the ark necessary. And of course, if Greenpeace had read biblical account from start to finish, theyd understand why the idea is so ironic. In Genesis, climate change didnt cause the floodmans wickedness did. And what saved Noah wasnt his boatbut Gods mercy. Unfortunately, Greenpeace is using the ark to call on man to save himself. But the reality is, without faith in God, there is no salvationnot from global warming, and certainly not from sin. Believing in anything else than the Lords benevolent rule is bound to leave people high and dry.

An update on what is going on around the states on the issue of life this week:

Georgia Part I: Perdue signed a bill that will create a way for new mothers in Georgia to donate umbilical cords for stem cell research. More . . .

Georgia Part II: Abortion foes got a boost this morning when Gov. Sonny Perdue signed a bill requiring providers to offer women seeking the procedure an opportunity to view an ultrasound image of the fetus. More . . .

SPECIALNOTE: LifeNews recognizes a trend on ultrasounds in the states here.

Kansas: A few Kansas lawmakers are pushing House leaders to begin a legislative study this summer and fall on late-term abortions and whether a Wichita doctor is breaking state law. More . . .

Louisiana: The state House unanimously approved a ban on a late-term abortion procedure Thursday. More . . .

Oklahoma: A bill prohibiting public funds from being used for most abortions has become law in Oklahoma after a deadline passed for the state’s governor to veto the measure. More . . .

Texas: Three pro life bills will not move forward as the Texas Legislative session comes to an end. More . . .

West Virginia: The number of abortions performed in West Virginia fell 14 percent after the Right to Know bill became law in 2003. More . . .

And for special mention: China: Southwestern China is currently embroiled in an uproar about forced abortions as thousands of people living there have been involved in riots after a campaign by local officials that has resulted in dozens of forced abortions. But Chinese officials have an ironic solution to the problem — more punishments. More . . .

So, the Democrats in Congress claim they support people of faith, while preventing a vote two weeks ago on an amendment to the Head Start bill that would have changed the law to allow faith-based groups who get Head Start funds to hire according to their beliefs…. (should a religious organization be required to hire a person from another religion, or none at all?). Democrats made much of their support for faith-based groups while effectively cutting out those that hire based on their religious beliefs.

But yesterday during a House Judiciary hearing, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) went after Monica Goodlings Christian affiliation, since she attended law school at a Regent University.

If Monica Goodling did something unethical or illegal, she should be held to account for doing something unethical or illegal, not for having attended a Christian law school. I wonder if Rep. Cohen would have asked about Monicas religious affiliation if she had attended a Jewish law school. I dont know, but his constituents may want to ask him.

COHEN: The mission of the law school you attended, Regent, is to bring to bear upon legal education and the legal profession the will of almighty God, our creator. What is the will of almighty God, our creator, on the legal profession?

As a guest speaker for an assembly at Boulder High School in Colorado, UCLA psychology professor Joel Becker had a surprising message of “encouragement”: Becker encouraged the studentssome as young as 14to have sex (with men, women, or whatever combination they prefer), to do drugs, and to “please masturbate.”

The following audio clips from Becker’s portion of the “sex and drugs” assembly were provided by KOA Radio in Denver:

How much have you spent this year on the abortion-oriented services of Planned Parenthood? This question may seem too personal, or out of line with your religious beliefs. But the truth is that if you pay taxes, you support Planned Parenthood.

American writer Walter Lippmann once said, The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on. For the Rev. Dr. Jerry Falwell, building a legacy of conviction started long before his death. It began more than 50 years ago with his burning desire to serve Jesus Christ. By founding a church of thousands and, in 1971, Liberty University, Dr. Falwell has helped generations learn and live for Christ. As a spiritual giant in the political world, Dr. Falwell stood for family, faith, and freedomeven when the stands he took were unpopular. While I was a student at Liberty, I met Dr. Falwell at a Wednesday night prayer service at Thomas Road Baptist Church. I asked him to pray with me because I believed God was calling me away from my law enforcement background and into politics. Im pleased to say that 20 years later, after serving in public office, I had the opportunity to thank Dr. Falwell for his friendship, his influence on my life, and his impact upon our nation. I hope youll join me and the entire staff here at the Family Research Council in praying for Dr. Falwells familyand thanking God for the powerful vision he left behind.
